"We've heard a lot of feedback that there was a need for a space to work from while in the area—so, after a few months of scouting, we recently signed a lease for a serviced office in Shenzhen. The space opened this week and is now up and running," the email read.

Rather than outfit an entirely new office the tech giant has hired space within another office in Shenzen, which is considered China's Silicon Valley of hardware.

According to TechCrunch, the office is likely to be used by teams that regularly visit the city, including hardware, sales, logistics and sourcing.
